Examination methods for waterproofing injection screens in various building materials

Abstract

Practically all building structures are to some extent struck by wetness. Usually, there is no need to take measures, but when there finally are, the redevelopment method of wet masonry by additional creating a waterproofing injection screen in building structures is nowadays one of the most widespread methods for treating rising capillary wetness. The main advantages of this method are the relatively quick and easy application and the excellent final efficiency. Factors like wetness, temperature or type of building material have a large influence on the injection screens' functionality. The main focus of this paper is testing the specially created various types of injection gels' penetration abilities and their final efficiency in dependence on these factors.
